We’re Phasing Out U.F.O. and U.F.O. LUXE

Phasing out U.F.O. and U.F.O. LUXE

If you have arrived here looking for U.F.O. or U.F.O. LUXE, you are in the right place.

Key points:

  • Both U.F.O. and U.F.O. LUXE are discontinued.
  • Only existing stock remains; no further batches will be made.
  • There will be no restock once current inventory is sold.
  • A new, more minimal face oil is in development and will be announced later.

Why are U.F.O. and U.F.O. LUXE being discontinued?

U.F.O. and U.F.O. LUXE came from an earlier stage of the Eckco story. At that time, we were experimenting with a broader selection of products, ingredients and formulas, including different balms, cleansers, beard oils and face oils.

There was nothing wrong with either product. They were part of the process that helped us work out where we wanted Eckco to go. Over time, our approach shifted towards shorter formulas, fewer extras and shared botanical bases.

U.F.O. and U.F.O. LUXE no longer fit that direction closely enough to remain part of the permanent range.

A different direction

From early 2025, our approach began shifting towards a much more pared‑back way of making products. Rather than continuing to add different formulas and variations to the range, we became more interested in what happened when we took things away.

That direction eventually became a much bigger part of Eckco and the products we make today.

What happens to the remaining stock?

  • Availability: Any remaining U.F.O. and U.F.O. LUXE stock will continue to be available until it is sold.
  • Restock status: Once the remaining stock is gone, neither product will be restocked.
  • Future batches: If you have used U.F.O. or U.F.O. LUXE before, the current products will not be replaced with another batch of the same formula.

What comes next?

We are working on a new face oil that follows the more minimal direction of the current Eckco range, built around the same Kawakawa, Mānuka and Calendula botanical infusion with a small number of additional plant oils.

We will share the full ingredient list, product details and launch timing once everything is ready.

Why we are making the change

Part of becoming more focused as a brand means being willing to let some products go. Not every product needs to stay forever, and an older formula does not have to have been a mistake for us to decide that something else fits the direction better.

U.F.O. and U.F.O. LUXE were part of Eckco’s evolution. Now we are taking what we have learned from them and carrying that forward into the next face oil.

Looking for U.F.O.?

If you came here specifically looking for U.F.O. or U.F.O. LUXE, we hope this clears up what has happened to them.

They are discontinued; remaining stock will be sold until it runs out, and there will not be another production run. The next Eckco face oil will be announced separately when it is ready.
